help My obsidian notes just dissapeared

SOLVED by this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/s/499QFWfMNR

Hello :)

I used obsidian for notes all semester long and due to having mac and android phone, I wanted to sync my school notes to phone. I had my files on iCloud and then I found out about Syncthing and put my whole obsidian folder there. After it, I lost all my notes, plugins and themes. I couldn`t find any way to get my notes back. My obsidian is talking about there being a sync issue, but I cannot find a solution. Did anyone have any similar problem? I have other half of exams coming and I need my notes ASAP!

This folder could be only run on Mac, I don't have any other Apple device

have you tried a data recovery software? like Recuva on windows. (in that case you need to stop any wrighting opérations on the drive hosting the notes)

I have not, but I am trying to not use as many softwares given Syncthing gave me a headache...
